Topic: big motor tight budget (Read 4820 times)

What i need is a motor that has enough power and speed to drive a screw(the kind connected to a boat's engine) that will push a 250 pound boat through the water at at least 5 MPH for under $50. I also need a small screw, say 3" diameter to be driven by the motor for under $30. many thanks to anyone that can find a motor that fits these needs.

I am going to look into both ideas, but i'm leaning towards the weed wacker engine because it already has most of what i need(like a long output shaft to stick in the water). but then again a blower motor from a junkyard is very cheap so i might use both, one way or another
